Thu, 11 Jan 2018 16:43:37 Z<p>Join the <a href="http://wiscape.wisc.edu" title="Visit WISCAPE website" target="_blank">Wisconsin Center for the Advancement of Postsecondary Education</a> (WISCAPE) for a discussion with Karen Skibba and Janet Staker-Woerner​, both from the <a href="https://continuingstudies.wisc.edu/" title="Visit Continuing Studies website" target="_blank">Division of Continuing Studies</a> at UW-Madison​, focused on using adult learning principles and strategies to design and teach online courses that lead to active and engaging student learning. <br />
<br />
More students, traditional as well as adult learners, are demanding flexibility in where and how they learn to complete their degrees faster, continue to work, spend time with family, and meet other responsibilities. To increase access to this population, many universities, including ​UW-Madison, are offering more online programs and courses.<br />
<br />
There is a lot of information on how to teach online, and it can be overwhelming. ​​However, research has found that many of the principles and strategies that ​work ​for teaching adult learners are effective for all students learning online.​<br />
<br />
In​ their presentation, Dr. Skibba and Dr. Staker-Woerner will share ​their research and experiences teaching online and adult learners and discuss best practices and strategies from adult learning that can help instructors design and teach engaging online courses.<br />
<br />
This event is free and open to the public.

In this WISCAPE talk, Steven Olikara, founder of the Millennial Action Project, will chart a path forward that is championed by a new generation of political leaders, highlighting higher education as part of the solution. Thu, 17 Aug 2017 15:30:29 Z<p>Partisanship in recent years has reached its most extreme levels on record, and millennials are disaffecting from a dysfunctional political system. Numerous polarizing forces, worsened by fear-based campaign fundraising and media echo chambers, have served as a barrier to what we elected our leaders to do: govern. <br />
<br />

So what can we do to combat extreme partisanship and restore a governing system that works? What roles do public universities and college students play in building an inclusive political environment? <br />

<p>Jacqueline Black is the ​associate ​director of Hispanic ​initiatives at Marquette University, and&nbsp;Alberto Jose Maldonado is the ​interim ​director of the <a target="_blank" title="Visit Roberto Hernandez Center website" href="https://uwm.edu/robertohernandezcenter/">Roberto Hernandez Center</a> and the ​lead ​of the Chancellor&rsquo;s Committee for Hispanic Student Initiatives at UW-Milwaukee.<br />
<br />
In order to be designated a Hispanic Serving Institution, colleges/universities&nbsp;must have a Hispanic enrollment that is at least 25 percent of the institution's total enrollment.&nbsp;Marquette&rsquo;s current Hispanic enrollment is 10.6 percent, and UW-Milwaukee's Hispanic enrollment is 9.9 percent.<br />
<br />
Marquette University and UW-Milwaukee would be the first ​campuses in Wisconsin to become Hispanic Serving Institutions. <br />

<p>Join the <a target="_blank" title="Visit WISCAPE website" href="http://wiscape.wisc.edu">Wisconsin Center for the Advancement of Postsecondary Education (WISCAPE)</a> for a campus talk with Dean of Students Emerita Mary Rouse and William Tishler, a campus media specialist and UW-Madison alumnus, ​looking at the past, present, and future of UW-Madison's historic Red Gym.&nbsp;A tour of the building will follow.<br />
<br />
In the early 1990s, Tishler​ assisted ​Rouse in making a video to raise money for the historic preservation and adaptive use of the Armory and Gymnasium in the heart of campus for student services and organizations. <br />
<br />
Thanks to a very generous lead gift from John and Tashia Morgridge, the building was renovated and reopened in 1998. Now commonly known as the Red Gym, it was constructed in 1893-1894 at a cost of $122,058.48, plus $5,657.43 for athletic equipment. The architecture and construction of the building and its many uses by the campus and community over the past 122 years will be described, together with an explanation as to why it was designated a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1993. </p>
<p>Since its construction, the Red Gym has been home to a wide variety of events, programs, and services. For example, the state Republican political conventions led by Robert M. &ldquo;Fighting Bob&rdquo; LaFollette in 1902 and 1904 were held there. The southeast corner​ -- now the home of the Morgridge Center for Public Service -- was firebombed on January 2, 1970, by the New Year&rsquo;s Gang. In August of that same year, this group killed a physics graduate student and destroyed the Army Math Research Center in Sterling Hall. Currently, the building is home to services and activities for students and a key part of the student services corridor.</p>
<p>This event is free and open to the public!<br />
